Chapter 130 Accountability
Chapter 130 Accountability
"Tell me, little guy, what made you destroy my Papal Palace!" said the Pope.
"Your Majesty! I didn't do this. I was chased and beaten by Lord Merlin from beginning to end. Maybe he was dissatisfied with the Holy See!" I lied.
"Nonsense! If it's a duel between two people, you can just find an open space. Why do you have to run to the Pope's Palace?" Green said angrily.
"Captain Green, your son is a sword master. I'm less than ten years old. Do you expect me to fight your son?" I asked back.
"Yes! Your son is older than my son. The Habsburg family is really becoming more and more promising!" Grandma said sarcastically.
"Okay! I'm asking the little guy, don't interrupt me!" the Pope said angrily.
Everyone shut up after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, it all started because Miss Christine from the Guardian Corps wanted to snatch my Light Dragon Chain. Seeing that I refused to give it to her, she asked the Guardian Corps to snatch it away. Finally, Lord Merlin also wanted it, so he wanted to kill me in anger! I had no choice but to run to the Pope's Palace. Perhaps this was God guiding me to seek the Pope's help."
Everyone knew I was talking nonsense but still didn't dare to interrupt. The Pope said to Grandma, "Lilith, bring everyone up!"
Upon hearing this, grandma asked someone to call in Honey, Wushuang, Christine and the manager.
"You! Tell us what happened!" the Pope said softly.
The steward was so frightened when he heard this that he trembled. He said in a panic, "Greetings...Greetings to His Majesty! Today, it was...it was the Third Young Master who came to buy jewelry for the two young ladies. The Third Young Master wanted to pay the bill, but Miss Christine said..."
"What?" asked Grandma.
"Miss Christine said she had reserved the necklace, so the Third Young Master asked Miss Christine to pay for it. However, Miss Christine did not bring any money, so the Third Young Master paid for it, and Miss Christine then..."
"So they robbed it, right?" Grandma interjected.
"Yes!"
"Nonsense! How can my Habsburg family not even be able to afford a necklace? This is a false accusation! I will kill you!" Green said angrily.
Seeing this, grandma stood in front of the steward and said, "Why, you dare to kill someone in front of the Pope?"
"Enough! Morgan!" said the Pope.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"This business seems to be your family's business. Talk to Green about it!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! Here is the list of debts owed by the Habsburg family, a total of 538,625 gold coins!" Morgan said.
Green was shocked when he heard this, and took the bills from Morgan's hand and checked them one by one.
"Your Majesty! This... there must be a misunderstanding here!"
"Misunderstanding? Are you saying today was a misunderstanding? Or is this bill a misunderstanding? Do you dare to say that you know nothing about these things?"
The Pope's voice became louder and louder, and no one present dared to speak.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's my fault for not disciplining my child well enough. I will definitely pay it back! I will definitely pay it back!" Green said in panic.
"Gregory! Bring Merlin to the Inquisition!" said the Pope.
Green knelt down in fear after hearing this. The Inquisition was the darkest place in the Vatican. It was said that a prince of a small country once spat in front of a statue of the Vatican and was later arrested by the Inquisition. A month later, the prince’s father spent countless gold coins and treasures to redeem the prince. The prince eventually went crazy and could only say one sentence: “I will never dare to spit again!”
